Roots Manuva – Takes Time Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

It takes time to...
Dare to go searching for...

Eating from the scribble that I push my pen with
My blend transcends and my scores attend

You can see me out there, tilling the soil
My black gold gets all my riches unfold
You can keep the corner, I'm going for some space
Mental malnutrition we treat with raw bass

Move your body, get that tool for your body
You can prove you're somebody, just whine and get slinky
Intertwine with time's design
So hip, so fly, so ever so gracious
Making the space for, making the case for

Something to pray for, something to sway some
Goat skin drummer beats perfectly
Now the hurt that was hurt ain't hurting we
We busty tough, dusty tough
From Dagenham to Dusseldorf
Could not give a hoot for how we come across

It takes time to...
Technology blind you
Dare to go searching for reasons to get free
It takes time to...
Technology blind you
Dare to go searching for reasons to get free

Whip them jah jah jah, whip them hard
They can't stand the talk because the talk too hard
They can't stand the walk because the walk's too hard
I blatant diss them, I disregard
Man fi get satire and be at large
And all the narrow-minded thinking that them haffi discard, yeah
Full time we get hip to the bet
And man fi get merry and just nice with the merry make

It takes time to...
Technology blind you
Dare to go searching for reasons to get free
It takes time to...
Technology blind you
Dare to go searching for reasons to get free
